[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 374201, member: 1514"] I have found out the hard way that loosening up on detachment has not been a good thing. I find it very interesting that so many of you talk about this in correlation to addiction because I was watching that Intervention show the other night and it dawned on me that I really think I could use a good stay in the program they use for the families of the addicts so they wont continue to enable the addicts. I see so much of a parallel between the way I want to "save" my son from discomfort or problems and the way an addict could play their parent to get money for drugs. I shouldnt have let mine move back home. It was a mistake. I thought it would be a help to me and them. It was at first but now it has deteriorated. The only real difference now is I do have more of a backbone where he knows I will say no and I mean it and he doesnt push me. I really need to get him out again. I dont think it would be so bad if it wasnt for his girlfriend. She is a piece of work. [/QUOTE]
